Gaurav Biswas

Founder and CEO, Trukker

Biswas spent 12 years in international consulting with engineering firms AECOM and Arup. However, it took him less than 48 hours to make up his mind to pursue the idea that led to Trukker. In 2019, the technology-enabled truck aggregator raised $23m in Series A funding, following it up with $10m in MENA’s first venture debt deal.

From 5,000 transactions in 2017, Trukker recorded in excess of 75,000, in 2020. Biswas is now mulling plans for an IPO, telling Bloomberg in December that “a listing perhaps in Saudi Arabia is probable or you could see some global consolidation”.
